While working on entering the employees into "Employee Payroll Settings", there are a couple of setup concerns/questions:

  1.  The system is allowing me to enter all Social Security #s as the same number. I'm not getting an error message that the number is a duplicate or already used.
  2.  One of our employees' tax setups in Sage has their Federal Withholding at an "Additional 25%"...not a dollar amount.  The PR Settings does not allow a percentage...only an amount.

Please refer to the below screenshot

 

Hi @gowrishankarsaravanakumar33!

I reviewed the tax settings and the company requirements to see if there was a way to prevent duplicates but I wasn’t seeing anything there.  This could be a good post for the idea forum!

in the meantime, you could create a GI that populate duplicate SSN in the event that did happen, add those to dashboards, etc.

 

Regarding the additional withholding percentage, I’m also not seeing a place specify a percentage, just the amount.

If this is US payroll, typically employees fill out a W4 so that employers can withhold the proper amount.  On the form, there is only space for an additional dollar amount, not percentage.  Is the client receptive to changing business processes that only allows employees to specify specific amounts instead of percentage? that may be easier than a customization!

Good luck!!
